Chocolate chip & cookies ice cream - Vegan, dairy-free, no-churn
A creamy, rich, indulgent Vegan ice cream you can make without an ice cream maker.
It's made with coconut milk, chocolate chips, chocolate sandwich cookies and salted peanut swirls.
It's dairy-free, but you'd never tell!
And it's no churn, meaning no ice cream maker is needed! Just blend all the ingredients and freeze.
3/4cupdark chocolate chipsor chunks from a dark chocolate bar
1tbspvanilla extract
2tbspagaveor you can sub.with maple syrup
For the salted peanut butter swirls
1cuppeanut butter
1/2cupplant-based milk
1pinchsea salt
Instructions
Separate the solid part of your chilled coconut cream cans and place in a blender (reserve the liquid part for a smoothie or a veggie curry).
Add all the other liquid ingredients to the blender: vanilla extract, agave or maple syrup. Process on low for 1 minute, just enough to mix everything together in an airy, fluffy white cloud.
Now break half of your cookies directly in the blender, and pulse a few times. This will create mini crumbles in the texture of your ice cream.
Now it's time to create the salted caramel swirls: for this, all you have to do is heat up the peanut butter and plant-based milk. Place the peanut butter either in a bain-marie or in the microwave in 30 seconds increment. Mix, then add the warm plant-based milk, stir, and add the pinch of sea salt.
Set aside.
Now it's time to assemble everything... take your metal loaf tin and pour half of the coconut milk + agave + vanilla + cookie crumble mix from the blender.
On top, pour half of the salted peanut butter mix.
Reserve the rest for serving.
Break the remaining sandwich cookies in big chunks (you might want to reserve a few for serving) and add them to the ice cream. Also add the chocolate chips or chunks.
Now pour the rest of the coconut milk + agave + vanilla + cookie crumble mix from the blender, and cover tightly with cling film.
Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
For the first hour, stir the ice cream mixture every 15 minutes, before allowing to freeze completely for at least 3 hours.
When it's finally time to eat this delicious chocolate chip & cookies ice cream, let it thaw for 25-30 minutes, before scooping into bowls, using a slightly wet ice cream scoop.
Add the rest of the salted peanut butter, chocolate chips or sandwich cookies to each individual portion (see below for serving suggestions).
